How to compare quotes

How we handle bath resealing in Staverton

A proper reseal starts with removing every trace of the old silicone. Fresh sealant does not stick to old, which is why many DIY jobs peel. We work on shower trays & enclosures, basins & vanity units and wet rooms, and the jobs we see most are black spots in the silicone and old sealant that looks dirty.

We guarantee the work for a year. If there’s a problem with the repair within the year, we return and sort it.

FAQs for Staverton

What happens after I send pictures?

You will get a fixed quote back. You’re under no obligation.

Can you do more than one item on the same visit?

Yes. Doing several items on one visit usually costs less than separate visits. Send pictures of everything you’d like done.

How do I book?

Photos of the damage, a picture of the entire bath or shower and your postcode. After that, we just agree a date.

Which areas do you work in?

We work UK-wide, so Staverton is covered. Prices do not change with location.

Why does the silicone keep cracking?

Something is moving. Persistent splitting can mean the support needs attention.

How soon can you come?

It depends on the time of year and where you are. We will offer you dates when we send your quote.

Can you price it without visiting?

In nearly every case. If photos don’t show enough, we will ask for another angle.

Is there any odour?

Some materials have a smell while they’re applied, so we ventilate the room. It fades as everything cures.

Is resealing worth it?

A professional reseal costs little compared with water damage. It’s quick, tidy and protects your home. No two jobs are quite the same, so we price each one individually. The size and type of damage, the material and access all make a difference, and combining jobs on one visit brings the cost down.

What you get with us

  • Dust sheets down, tidy finish
  • We will tell you if it’s not worth repairing
  • Accredited with CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor
  • We come to you, anywhere in the UK

Materials and what they mean for the repair

Baths

We fill the bath before sealing, so the joint is at its widest.

Shower trays

Trays are sealed with weight on them, for the same reason.

DIY repairs versus a professional job

We understand the appeal of fixing it yourself. The trouble is that kit repairs often look fine at first and then fail, and the old filler has to come out before a proper repair.

You can buy a DIY kit for most repairs, and they can tidy up a tiny mark. Where they fall down is colour and preparation: they come in a handful of shades, and if the surface is not prepared the repair won’t last.

Landlord and trade work in Staverton

We regularly work with letting and managing agents. Send the address, pictures and access details and we will handle the rest.

Builders, developers and site managers book us for snagging repairs, putting right damage done during fitting. We hold CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor accreditations.

How to look after the repair

How the surface is treated afterwards matters. Here’s what we suggest:

  • Ventilate the bathroom well
  • Wipe the joints dry after use
  • Give the seal a regular clean
  • Store bottles on a shelf

Leave the sealant to cure for the time we give you, generally around 24 hours.

Black mould in sealant is not just unsightly. An early reseal keeps water where it belongs.

Prices and what affects them

We charge the same across the UK, including Staverton. The price reflects:

  • Whether we combine several jobs
  • The material and finish
  • Access to the area
  • Whether it’s a chip, crack, burn or wear

Rather than charging by the hour, we price the entire job up front. It depends on the damage, the material and access, and doing several items at once reduces it.

Send pictures for a quote

Good photos mean an accurate price. Here’s what helps:

  • Where you are, by postcode
  • Whether it’s been repaired or coated before
  • What it’s made of, if you know
  • A coin beside the damage so we can judge size

To get a price, send two or three photos through our quote form or call us. We’ll tell you honestly whether it can be repaired.

How it works

When we visit, the technician arrives at the agreed time, protects the room with dust sheets and masking and gets started. Expect it to take around two hours. We tidy up before we leave and let you know when you can use it again.

  1. First we strip out every bit of the old mastic.
  2. The joint is cleaned and any mould treated.
  3. The joint is dried thoroughly.
  4. For a bath, we fill it with water first so the joint is at its widest.
  5. New mould-resistant silicone goes on and is tooled to a neat finish, including around the taps.

Before we arrive

  • Clear toiletries, mats and anything else from around the area
  • Keep pets and children out of the room while we work
  • Make sure the area is dry

Ask for a price

You don’t need a survey visit. Nearly every job can be priced from pictures: send a close-up, a wider shot and your postcode, and we’ll come back to you with a fixed figure.
